ScenAid 0.9.0.5 released

[smokeslikeapoet]

I've had some problems creating the DVD with Scenarist since I switched from ReAuthorist to ScenAid. On two different DVD's I've had overlapping subtitles, causing Scenarist to choke. Unfortunately I haven't been able to recreate the exact error because when I repeat the steps the problem seems to correct itself.

I can't get on the site www.sceneaid.com :(

Are there any other mirrors where I can get it?

[D3s7]

Not currently there isn't but you should be able to get there... site is up as far as I can tell

i have some problem at Exporting a DVD in Scenarist.

the original dvd has dublicated VOBID, but i have demuxed WITHOUT VOBID. Makeing a Script with ScenAid .5 works fine. Importing also no problems. Only exporting results in a problem:

here the log:

Error Subpicture[1] (1:VTS_03_VSUB_P5A1-00-F-Eng_136.sp) and (2:VTS_03_VSUB_P5A1-00-F-Eng_137.sp) offset are overlapped (00:00:00;00-00:00:01;04) and (00:00:00;00-00:00:03;02)
Error dvd_mux : Open Mux_list File Error
Error Terminated Multiplexing (BONUS-VTS03P05_t.vob).
Error Wrong mux_list. Mux_list format or stream ID may be wrong.
Error Multiplex is failed.
Error Multiplexing failed, Track "VTS03P05"

Error MuxFromDB:MuxVTS failed
Error Multiplex failed
Error DVD Video files could not be created

makeing a Script with the preBeta .6 i had found at the German Doom9 Forum results in more subtile problems. so what can I do?

Hello

I'm trying to make a Copy of Pirates of Carabien. I extract the vts by VobId using Doitfast4u. But when i try to use Scenaid 0.9.0.5 it won't work. I let it analysing the demux directory during the night and after 8 Hours it don't give me any result.

I got almost the same thing with this same title.

After 39 hours (no I'm not kidding 39) it just stoped responding. It was started minimized by DoItFast4U! so I cannot see the error message (which happens when started minimized and for some reason it crashes), but the log doesn't give a clue at all.

Has anyone got a clue about this? Either the huge amount of time it took and the reason it fails with this title?

Thank you

servus...

Can Scenaid 0.9.0.5 handle forced subtitle?

I made KillBill VOl. 1 RC2 with it. No errors while rebuilding. but in the player, nothing works like it should. no forced subtitle.

Or is IfoUpdate responsible for forced subtitle?

Edit:

Just checked the scenarist project. the two streams with forced subtitles are inside. but not selected as forced subtitle.
I mean it isn´t a problem to select them afterwards with ifoedit or in scenarist, if you have a forced subtitle stream only.

But what if you have the forced subtitle inside a normal subtitle stream?

Is it possible to set this in the script automatic?

[D3s7]

fourty : where you checking to see if it's forced or not?

Forced display is set in the "Data" tab and set PER .bmp.

Yes it should be detecting and labeling forced subs.

Check if there is in the subs demux directory not only a .sst but also a -forced.sst file - If not then that's why it's not showing them forced

[fourtyfour]

servus...

Weird. There are no forced subtitle neither in the sub folder nor if I look into the original ifo files.

But somehow, this subtitles (english and german stream) are forced, as I can see on standalone player (original DVD) and PowerDVD (mounted Image)

My created image has the same problems as the testdvd, so it isn´t a dvd player problem.
I´m doing some testing with subrip and this subtitles then I´ll see what´s going on.


About the Forced Flag

I´m using the simulation window for looking after the forced flag. It´s actually the same as you wrote above.


Actually, I don´t know how I can set 2 forced subtitles (eng for eng menu) (ger for ger menu).
First, I have to learn more about the structure of this movie and how forced subtitles are working without setting flags :)
I think it´s something about choosing language x, the menu is setting forced subtitle xx as well.

But I´ll see and let you know if I find a solution.

If you can give me a hint I appreciate it :)

[Trahald]

i can only speak for r1.there are no forced subs

that one has a translation stream (x20W,x21L) that only has english subs where they speak japanese in the film. and that is it. its not forced. although it is default on, it is not Forced

then x22WL is the regular english track which includes the translated parts.

x23WL+ are japanese, trad chinese, korean, french, spanish (not in that order) the japanese spoken parts (except in the japanese sub track of course) are translated to the according language.

[fourtyfour]

servus...

I agree, I can´t find any details about forced subtitle.

I think it´s made with a pre-command like:

If stream A selected, the always play "subtitle 6" .

Otherwise it would be a wonder why I got this "forced" subtitles

[D3s7]

Well if that's the case IFOUPdate will fix it

[fourtyfour]

servus...

I made the whole movie with original menu.

neither dts detection nor "forced" subtitle are making problems.

Everything works like it should :)


I guess, it´s all a problem of NuMenu4U, not for Scenaid.

[D3s7]

Glad to hear it

[arlsair]

Scenarist crashes (Scenarist shuts down), when I try to import a ScenAid script. It is a multi angles movie so it is demuxed by vobid.
It crashes when Scenarist tries to import the tracks with the multi angles. The last line I see is

Info Importing VTS01_V1_C1-a3

where a3 is the last angle.

It is so for the last two multi angles dvds. The assets are Ok, as I made then the first multi angles dvd manually.

P.S.: Where can I find some Info, how to create the scenarist script ? I found nothing in the scenarist docu.

Send me the Script... I should be able to see what's going on

There really isn't any... I used RA as a base point and went from there but found that really the best way is to create a scenario, export, examine

The basic script layout is fairly simple but it's these kinds of issues that makes it a little more difficult

[XadoX]

How long ago? Since the last post here :D

I have the same problem. This is third DVD I tried to back up and subs are overlapping.

[JackRipper]

I have been following the development of ScenAid for a while and would like to report successful backup of Independence Day R4, PAL Special Edition (Ripped by VOBID using DIF4U 1.4.7, DoCCE4U, CCE 2.6.7 Trial, Scenaid 0.9.5, and Scenarist 2.6) keeping everything (Special + Theatrical versions, all 3 sound tracks and all subtitle). The main movie was compressed at 3Mb/s. And it looks great on my projection screen. No obvious problem that I can detect. Subs works perfectly. I am very happy!. Keep up the good work all you guys. :thanks: :thanks: :thanks:

[Marmis]

www.sceneaid.com seems to be down and I would desperatly need ScenAid just now. I tried searching for it in Google, but all sites linked it to www.sceneaid.com

Is it a large file? Could anyone mail it or anything?

Thanks.

[KamikazeCJ]

If anyone can help it would be much appreciated. Bare with me as I am new to this forum. I'm racking my head on this as I have done multiple encodes. I'm using the big three to shrink a DVD. (NuMenu, DIF4U, DOCCE4U, then trying the new Scenaid v 0905. All softwares are latest. I'm getting 2 errors while importing Master and Commander into scenaid. One is an "(5)invalid procedure call or argument" ( Audio::Item (line 50)). The other: "(91)Object variable or With block variable not set" (Form1::ProcessDIF (line 3280)). Any answers?
Thanks much:confused:

[dodone]

Few question about using this prog with DoItFast4U

1) Is it possible to open a dvd5 backed up on hard disk without using doCCe4u? I've been trying but it creates a scenarist script with mpv files i haven't in folders. If i rename the m2v files in mpv files, scenarist fails in importing.

2) Does "Scenarist NT & the big 3 new" way make possible to import in scenarist the exact structure of a dvd, including still menus and correct connections between pgps? Or i can get only pgps of the videos connected in a sequential way?

Not really concerned about the 2) point (although it would be great if i could have the exact copy of a dvd in scenarist:)) but the 1) point it's a shame, cause i would encode with a one-click solution and then operate with scenarist to change menus and audio streams, and i have some dvd5 too i would change in their audio streams and menus.

I'm a newbie in dvd encoding/authoring (although i know how to use scenarist), so i hope my questions aren't too silly :p

[influenza]

What's the point in 1? You can just burn a dvd5 to dvd-r(w) anyway

[dodone]

I think that the most usefull thing of scenarist is the possibility to change menù and audio stream, and when i say "change" i mean "change the ones on the dvd with self-made ones" and i have some dvd5 i want to change :)

[influenza]

ah ok. Well that's perfectly possible of course. just demux using dif4u. use scenaid/RA to generate a script. import into scenarist. Change what you want and compile

[KamikazeCJ]

A couple of days ago I asked for some help with some errors I was getting while importing movie files into Scenaid. I haven't gotten any answers so far. I'm sure there's got to be somebody out there who can throw a few answers my way... :D Here are my questions:

I'm using NuMenu, DIF4U, DOCCE4U, then trying the new Scenaid v 0905. All softwares are latest. I'm getting 2 errors while importing Master and Commander into scenaid. One is an "(5)invalid procedure call or argument" ( Audio::Item (line 50)). The other: "(91)Object variable or With block variable not set" (Form1::ProcessDIF (line 3280)).

PLZ PLZ help... Reauthorist should work but I wanted to try something different. I apologize in advance if I appear a bit impatient....

[jel]

hi KamikazeCJ and welcome to the forum!

unfortunately i doubt anyone but the author, D3s7, will be able to help you with your queries, as the error messages are very particular to the programming of Scenaid.

i am positive that your issues will be addressed in due course, however owing to the very nature of beta testing/development and the fact that D3s7 is coding this application in his spare time, i would honestly give ReAuthorist a try on this title, or leave your final steps of this back-up for a later day when a new version is released(or if your really game you could try to manually reauthor the title yourself ;) )

knowing d3s7, he is most likely coding like crazy to release a new version, however if instead, he is kicking it back on a beach with a tequila sunrise or 30, i personally wish him all the best - the break is well earned.

cheers

j

[KamikazeCJ]

or if your really game you could try to manually reauthor the title yourself

hehehe ... I'd rather be kicking it on a beach with a tequila sunrise...

Thanks, Jel, for your welcome and response! And to D3S7, Eyes Only, etc. a huge thumbs up keep up the great work. Maybe soon we'll have a one-click rebuilder like DVD Rebuilder but with all the control of DIF4U and company. I understand many concepts and structures of video processing and authoring but mastering some of these programs like scenarist with the time I can justify for it is a different story.

[d4g]

hi i had sceneaid working before on my p4 machine i reinstaled windows and now everytime i try to run the program i get an error that its missing a .dll file or somehting is corrupt it keeps asking for the mscof file.......

does anyone know how to resolve this issue

[D3s7]

try reinstalling scenaid.... sounds like a key dll was removed

[d4g]

ok i did what u said and the sae problem arose....

so what i did was installed scenaid on my laptop where it worked to a searchh for the mscomtl.ocx file where it was locatted in the system 32 folder copied it and put it on my p4machine system 32 folder where now the p4 machine runs sceneaid now.. why it was doing it i have now idea it wasnt installing that file...:)

thanx ds

[fourtyfour]

servus...

scenaid script imports all of my subtitles (13), but only generate 9 !
After I won´t believe influenza, I tried with RA, and it worked.
(yes, you´re right, I´m wrong :) )

Alle subtitles are were they should.

But know I wqant to know why?
What is the problem in Scenaid script?

Can anyone explain?

[influenza]

I think I told you very clearly on IRC where to look for the fault.

You have to look at the subtitle assignments in the property browser. Go to the scenario tab. On the left hand side of the screen browse to the specific pgc. Then in the property browser double click on subpic attributes. After that double click on the specific subtitle stream. There is something wrong. Set them as they should be and you'll be fine. Compare the RA and scenaid script within scenarist and you'll see the differences.

[D3s7]

Sorry guys for the delay in any updates on where we are at... my Admin side kicked in and the Programming side to a back chair for awhile. Things are now back where they should be and as soon as I finish a couple minor fixes/changes I'll be posting an new build.

Be aware though, this build is a totally new beast. Lots of changes (actually, everything changed), some things I stepped back from till I'm sure others are working properly (IE subs)

If you can hold on for a few more days, I'm sure the changes will be worth the wait

[D3s7]

New version is out and as normal this thread will be closed to keep things in one area
